I'm Paul, live in Wales, with bit more than a passing interest in computers. I ride horses, sail and enjoy the outdoor life, night time is for computing stuff. I am learning VB, competent at writing HTML, and need some help from time to time. I have a current project of relaying live webcam images from the stables via a networked PC to our website so colleagues and friends in Australia can see the progress of our new born foals.

Thanks, CatWeazle. ;)
